Not long ago on Taishan Island, Oscar was thoroughly embarrassed by Li Se. However, he was also convinced by the other party's medical skills. This was the marvel of Chinese medicine. Therefore, for the illness he couldn't handle himself, he was certain Li Se could.
“Teacher, he… is he the divine doctor you mentioned? Could there be a mistake?” Dr. Jiang asked, his face filled with disbelief. The main reason was that Li Se was too young. If he were also a practitioner of Chinese medicine, it would be too incredible.
“Yes, Professor Oscar, he is just a young man. He shouldn't be the divine doctor you spoke of.” Zhou Chunfeng also didn't believe Li Se could be any divine doctor. If someone like this could be a divine doctor, wouldn't he himself also become one? It was simply ridiculous.
“There must be a mistake.”
“Of course, he’s just someone pushed forward by the hospital to take the blame. How could he be a divine doctor?”
Zhong Man and Wen Lili both nodded in agreement, convinced this fellow couldn't possibly be a divine doctor.
Oscar frowned slightly. A medical professor of his caliber had many disciples. The previous Henry and this Dr. Jiang were just two of his many students. He snorted coldly, "Little Jiang, do you think your teacher is already so old and blind that he could mistake someone?"
“Teacher, but he’s really not a divine doctor…” Dr. Jiang still wanted to say something.
“Shut up!” Oscar rebuked. “This is Divine Doctor Li. I will not mistake him. If you keep babbling, you don't have to come to my class anymore.”
“Teacher, I wouldn’t dare.” Dr. Jiang quickly apologized. Being Oscar’s student meant access to considerable resources, and he didn’t want to waste it like this.
Oscar snorted coldly and saw no need to say more to Dr. Jiang. He then turned to Li Se and said with a smile, “Divine Doctor Li, the kidneys are completely ruined, but if you treat him, there might still be a chance.”
“Professor Oscar, is he really a divine doctor?” Zhou Chunfeng asked, somewhat incredulous.
“Of course!” Oscar stated with absolute certainty.
At this, the entire Zhou Chunfeng family’s expressions turned grim. They had previously shown such disdain towards Li Se and had mocked him relentlessly. Now, it turned out he was the only one capable of curing the kidney condition. This situation became rather awkward.
“I said long ago that as long as Divine Doctor Li takes action, there definitely won’t be any problems. It’s just that you kept obstructing him, hehe.” Director Tang sneered.
“So what?” Zhong Man didn’t realize her mistake. Instead, she arrogantly looked at Li Se and said, “Divine Doctor Li, is that right? As long as you can cure my son’s kidneys, I’ll give you five million. I know this consultation fee might seem astronomical to you, but our family is just that wealthy. As long as you can cure my son, money is not a problem.”
“That’s right. My husband’s kidneys are in your hands now.” Wen Lili nodded slightly.
This family still displayed their usual sense of superiority. However, if it were an ordinary doctor, hearing about a five-million consultation fee would be hard to refuse, and no one could reject so much money. Even if they had mocked him before, what did it matter? As long as the money was there, it was fine, and there was no need to care about anything else.
However, as soon as they said this, Director Tang cursed them inwardly as idiots. At Li Se’s level of medical expertise, how could he possibly lack money? This family still refused to lower their stance!
“Five million?” Li Se looked at the family with a half-smile.
“What, do you think it’s a lot?” Zhong Man asked with arrogance. “Since you have no objections, hurry up and start the treatment. My son’s life is very precious. You’d better be careful. If the treatment goes smoothly and is successful, I might even give you a little more money!”
“Aren’t you going to go quickly?” Wen Lili urged.
Li Se remained unmoved and said faintly, “I’m sorry, I’m not short of money. Moreover, even if I were, five million is not much to me. I’ve accepted consultation fees of two billion. How could I possibly care about a mere five million?”
“Consultation fees of two billion?” Upon hearing this, the Zhou Chunfeng family’s faces darkened. They naturally didn’t believe Li Se had actually accepted a two-billion consultation fee. This was clearly him gouging prices. Did he look down on five million?
“Are you trying to rip me off?” Zhong Man asked indignantly.
“At your age, don’t think that just because you have some medical skills, you can be arrogant. Five million is already quite a lot. Moreover, for you, associating with people of our caliber brings many benefits. This is about networking, do you understand? And yet you are trying to extort us. Aren’t you being too ungracious?” Wen Lili said angrily.
“Enough,” Zhou Chunfeng said, not wanting to argue further. He glanced at Li Se and said, “My son’s condition cannot wait any longer. I will give you ten million. Hurry up and treat my son’s illness. However, after you accept this money, even if you cure him, I will owe you nothing. Originally, getting to know me was an opportunity for you, but you yourself didn't cherish it.”
“I’m truly sorry, I have no desire to get to know your family at all. And ten million is still too little.” Li Se still shook his head.
Zhou Chunfeng’s expression darkened slightly. “Young man, leave some room for maneuver in your dealings, and you’ll have a better future. Ten million is already a lot for you. Many people can’t earn ten million in their entire lives, and this is just for one consultation. If your demands are too excessive, aren’t you burning your bridges?”
He paused and continued, “I know that what we said earlier was indeed a bit excessive and might have hurt your pride. But in this day and age, what is pride worth? As long as you treat my son well, I’ll give you ten million, and you can live very comfortably from then on. Can you go in for the treatment now?”
“Did you hear that? Go quickly!” Zhong Man impatiently urged. This brat was ungrateful and dared to hesitate. Being able to treat her son was his honor.
Wen Lili gritted her teeth and said, “If anything happens to my husband, if the best treatment time is missed, I will hold you accountable. Now, hurry up and treat my husband. I’m telling you, you’ll only get ten million if you cure him. If you can’t cure him, you won’t get a single cent!”
This family was incredibly arrogant. They didn’t even look at Li Se with respect. This was understandable. Forget Li Se, they didn’t even respect the doctors in the entire hospital. As Zhou Chunfeng had said, with a single word from him, Director Tang could be fired!
“Do you still remember what you just said?”
Li Se remained unmoved and looked at Wen Lili, smiling, “You said if I needed you, you’d break off ten of your own fingers, right? Now, break them off. After you break them, we can then consider whether to proceed with the treatment.”
